Starting to assemble the body on my 1997 FF and when I was going through the parts, I noticed that the lower latch did not come with the kit, but the upper did. It seems that the lower might be similar to a Ghia, T3, rabbit, Jetta? Anyone with a spare laying around that they would be will to part with? I'm also going to need cables and pull knobs for the front and rear latches.
Thanks, Anthony

I ran into this a couple of times. because they are older in age and style you need to but the upper and lower as a set as there are slight differences.
Appreciate you sharing this and it looks like I'll be buying both upper and lower latches.
Cables Measure length and a bit extra ...purchase choke cables on eBay.

Wow - Those eBay choke cables are wicked cheap!
Yeah. I paid about the same for the licking one to use for my manual flappers.

We still use the same style today, just upgraded to a CNC billet aluminum unit instead of the cast 944 part. Just had too many of the handles break over the years.
